Dajti Castle
Dajti Castle ((アルバニア語:Kalaja e Dajtit)) is a archaeological site in Albania, comprising the ruins of a Roman fortification and several dwellings. It belongs to late antiquity, probably having been built over Illyrian foundations. It lies at altitude on top of a hill, west-side of Mount Dajti, close to Tirana.〔Besnik Aliaj, Keida Lulo, Genc Myftiu - ''TIRANA, the Challenge of Urban Development'' (Archaeological evidence in Tirana district, page 133) Publisher: SEDA, Tirana 2003 ISBN 99927-880-0-3〕 It was discovered in 1963 and eventually was inscribed in the list of the Cultural Monuments of Albania. In 2008 a three year restoration project began, aiming to conduct further archaeological searching and surveys and to improve the nearby infrastructure for visitors and tourists.
==History==
According to the archaeological material, construction and the analysis carried on site, the castle of Dajti is thought to date back to the late antiquity in the 6th century. Procopius of Caesarea in his panegyric work ''Buildings of Justinian'' writes that the East Roman (Byzantine) Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) "''...built 32 castles and reconstructed 26 others in Epirus Nova, in order to protect it from the Slavic attacks''".〔 He also mentioned the ''castle Tirkan'', the probable origin of Albania capital's name Tirana, dating back to 1st century BC and lying on Dajti's mountainside,〔(Municipality of Tirana: History of Tirana )〕 which might be Tujani Castle, on a much lower altitude than Dajti castle.
The castle was discovered in 1963 by the historian and archaeologist Neritan Ceka. Soon afterwards it was declared a Culture Monument of 1st category on January 15, 1963, by the Rectorate of the State University (today University of Tirana).〔
